San Antonio utility service and rate developments
Overview
In San Antonio, utility providers are implementing different strategies regarding infrastructure and costs. CPS Energy launched the Casa Verde program as part of its Sustainable Energy Plan (STEP), offering rebates for residential energy efficiency upgrades such as insulation, LED lighting, and duct sealing to help residents manage heating and cooling costs.
Regarding rate adjustments, CPS Energy has deferred its request for a rate hike until mid-2027, citing customer financial pressures and inflation. Conversely, the San Antonio City Council approved a rate increase for the San Antonio Water System (SAWS). This increase is expected to raise residential bills by approximately 29% over four years, starting January 1, to address infrastructure needs following the loss of 16.5 billion gallons of water due to leaks and faulty pipes.
